I think the loss of Revis is overstated. Certainly a HUGE loss for any team but we play the AFC south and the NFC West, what top QBs/passing teams do we play? Ok NE, Houston, after that is VERY soft. I guess the Chargers but after that it is a huge drop off.

I think losing Revis is bad but our problems before are still our problems now. We need our LB core to be more athletic. We need our front line to get a push on passing downs. We need our receivers to get open. We need a running game.

You'd have a point with the first paragraph if this were any other team.

The Jets will live and die by their defense and their defense lives and dies by the success of their man coverage. Cromartie is going to lose against #1s a lot more often than Revis, and putting Wilson and whoever your dime CB was as the nickel is just asking to be lit up.

This is why the whole Jets scheme is massively flawed. Al Davis made it abundantly clear 20 years ago that you can't maintain success overpaying for CBs. You need to build in the trenches and front 7, not back 7.

Jets are something like 4-1, 3-1 without Revis. Rex isn't a stupid coach, he is going to change his game plan for an absent Revis.

No. Just no. At this point anyone not named Watt would be a joke.

If Revis were able to play more than one game, he'd have a better argument too.

He was already well on his way by dominating Stevie.

Except not at all?

JJ Watt is three steps ahead of every defensive player right now. The only one who comes close is Ware.

Except Davis didn't have a CB that was on Revis' level, nor did Davis do that in an era like today, which is much more passer friendly. Usually, building from the back end is a mistake, but Revis is a historical talent, and you can always build around players like that.

Also, how can you say at all if Revis wouldn't be in the conversation with Watt had he not gotten hurt? You honestly can't, but you're going to anyway. Revis had a fantastic week one, and there's no reason to think he wouldn't have continued that success.

Actually Davis had multiple hof players in his secondaries including the goat cb duo ever. You might want to brush up on your history.

Because watt is dominating at another level and frankly you need stats to win and revis doesn't get stats because teams always target cromartie, the lbs and the safeties_________________

I understand Davis had great CB's, but my point still stands that Revis is on another level.

Speaking of history, the Raiders had a ridiculous amount of success in the 80's with those players. So your argument was that Davis made a mistake by paying CB's that ended up being a huge part of their SB winning teams?

Let's see what happens when he goes through surgery, because if there's that 0.0002 percent chance that he could play in a Super Bowl or something, why would you take that option away from him?

Wow. So we are going to waste a roster spot for the year instead of taking a shot at another young guy or bring white back?

I'm trying so hard to stay confident that we will make the playoffs this year. Like I said before, I just want us to at least compete the next two weeks. Tired of us getting our [inappropriate/removed] kicked in big games during the regular season. The toughest teams on the schedule after this is the Pats, cardinals, and Seahawks._________________

The Texans are going to destroy the Jets. They'll drop 40 on us with their balance on offense.
